  Hope deferred

  proverbs 13:12 "hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.

  i have heard this before from dave ramesy about finances and how if you can never see an end in sight to get out of debt, if you always are making nothing to live on and getting nowhere with no hope of it ever changing, you just give up.

  thank god's it's friday and oh god it's monday breaks your spirit.. i was reading this book by henry cloud and he expounds on this and says "there are few sicknesses of the heart like hope deferred.

  2. scandals

  i received a call from one of my job's on saturday who lives in settle wa, she was driving and listening to npr and the interview came on, she said she was shocked at how the jw's are dealing with the child abuse problem.

  she has family who are hard core jw's and was sick that her grandchildren could be affected.. she cannot be the only one who has heard this on npr.

  just wondering if there will be any fall out from it or if like everything else it will all just die down in jw land.

  Question about an elder and if I am crazy

  2. child-abuse

  ok so i have a question.

  i was a very, very true believer until i saw the child molesters in my hall and how that whole thing was handled.. my husband is older than i am and had been an elder for 12 when we married.

  so fast forward to 06, we are in a hall where i thought all the elders were ok at the worst and great at the best.

  Adult survivor of sexual abuse as a child

  by life is to short in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i showed the video from the midweek meeting of september 12th to my counselor to get her take on it.

  she said that it clearly was a propaganda video and was appalled that it was shown to an audience that had small children in it.

  she said that they could have been way more generic in their way of portraying the women as having been abused.. the subject of sexual abuse and the way the video zeroed in on it would have small children asking questions that really did not need to be addressed.

  ok so i was stupid and looked at the text for today, i do not know why i did it.

  i lost a couple of brain cells and put myself into an even deeper depression over it.

  it was just that my husband had it out and i thought what can it hurt, wondering what they are up to.

  Undeserved kindness

  by life is to short in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just a side note that i found interesting and sort of upsetting, the wt that the jw's will study on sunday the 18th of september has the words undeserved kindness mentioned 50 in just 19 paragraphs.

  really they need to beat it into their people that they are very worthless and do no deserve anything from god?

  so much so that they use the words over and over, don't they.. lits .
